A new EGD Jackpot record!

A new record!

Last weekend at Playground, at the heart of the May Power Weekend, a new Jackpot record was set in our Electronic Gaming space. Guylaine Gregory was casually spinning one of our Quick Hit games, arguably the most popular title on the floor, when an avalanche of Quick Hit symbols surged to her screen. She had just won $37,532.50!

The record of the biggest EGD Jackpot won at Playground was previously owned by Franco S. and Eternal Lotus, another great title. On February 2, Franco pocketed $28,791.93, a 3-month-long record holder.

Last Saturday, however, Guylaine and her husband changed all that. At 10:42PM, Guylaine became the biggest EGD winner to date. Champagne and confetti ensued, and the couple posed in front of Playground’s steed. Congratulations!

MILLIONS North America is here!

For many players, the long Road to MILLIONS began in early December when the STEP satellite system kicked things off, starting qualifiers on their journey to the $10,300 Main Event of MILLIONS North America for as little as $90.

There are still lots of ways to qualify for the Main Event at a discount; between seven direct satellites scheduled from May 19 to May 22 and two Final Phases to come on partypoker, players have a variety of price points and formats to choose from. For more info on how to play your way to big events with huge prize pool guarantees, click here.

Although all eyes will be on the Main Event and it’s $5MILLION guaranteed prize pool, the festival counts a dozen events with buy-ins ranging from $220 to $25,300 so players of all bankrolls can take part in the festival. The most interesting buy-in/guarantee ratio lies within Event #2, the Montreal Open.

Flaming Hot in Cuba
May 16, 2019 | Jôle Simard
The Rum and Coke drink was created in Cuba in the early 20th century, when Coca-Cola started exporting their sugary soft drink to the country. The drink’s traditional name, Cuba Libre (Free Cuba), is a reminder of the strong American presence in Cuba in those years. It wasn’t long before the Cuba Libre made its way north to the United States, and from there everywhere in the world. The drink, simply made with rum, cola, ice, and served with a lime wedge, reminds of hot Cuba and the warm summer nights by the beach. The icy Rum and Coke may …

Named after a beach near Santiago de Cuba, the daiquiri family of cocktails traces their origins to the turn of the twentieth century. Since their creation, they have only gained popularity with each passing year and now have a global status as cool, refreshing drinks that are ideal in the hot summer months. Playground’s drink menu features the strawberry daiquiri, available with or without rum, and it should be your drink of choice when things start heating up. Much like the daiquiri, the pin-up model has iconic status in twentieth century culture; they are attention grabbing, easily recognized and have …
